Flip Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Yup, it looks like our first use of the Neymar money will be buying Iñigo Martínez from Real Sociedad. I approve. Definitely see that as a very sensible signing. Need to after Coutinho/Hazard/Dembele now. Someone on that LF is a must. Watching Neymar's press conference now. Always felt like PSG president came across well, but coming across really badly in this press conference. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 I can understand wanting to be the centre of a team etc, but in the french league? I have said this before but if he wanted to leave and be at the centre of a team he had no other choice, no one else in the world is mental enough to pay the release clause.

Ikon Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Neymar is on £782,000 per week at PSG. NOT ABOUT THE MONEY A football career is pretty short to be fair. f*** off, for goodness sake. Can't believe you swallow that crap. Don't think he was being serious tbf. What the fuck? I'm not even sure if Dinho lad is being serious!! ??

Guest Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Apart from the obvious answer which is 'nowt', what the hell is going on at Southampton this summer? Signed some player I've never heard of, van Dijk probably going in the end, and that's it. They've got a decent set of players but if they become stale they might drop into lower mid-table this year.

Haven't a clue why a club wouldn't buy this summer. I mean wtf are Spurs doing n'all? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Think they'll do very well again tbh. Probably will sell Sissoko and get Barkley before the end. A bit of continuity for them is fine, they've got a young and growing team. Still think they could do with another forward but they didn't struggle without Kane last season Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Teams who don't buy, when everybody else buys, fall away. Bet they do n'all. That FA Cup semi showed how far behind the champions they actually were. Plus they're shite at Wembley. They'll have a poor season, by their current standards, I bet Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Well the problem is they literally can't improve their team without going out and buying a genuine top class player. Their first 15 players or so, are extremely strong. They tried adding to the squad last year - Sissoko, Janssen, Nkoudou. £55 million worth there, and they didn't really do much except fill the bench. To improve, they would need to add a real marque signing, and that would mean breaking their strict wage budget. Something that's not gonna happen during stadium building. I can understand why they aren't buying. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Well they're not finishing lower than 6th or 7th, probably still better than Arsenal & Liverpool...they'll be fine. Southampton though, when it was so tight from 8th downwards, might struggle if they don't sign a couple. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted August 4, 2017 Share Posted August 4, 2017 Son and Wanyama/Dembele are probably the starters who Spurs could be improved upon most easily, but you'd probably have to be buying a £50-60 million player to do so. Dembele from Dortmund, Keita from Leipzig, maybe. That kind of level. But they have their sights set on higher than Spurs. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Think Trippier is good but going to be a test in that it's the first time he'll be playing week in week out for a top club at right back. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

leffe186 Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 I don't think Spurs will make top 4 this year. Me neither. I think it will be an even more extraordinary achievement than the last two finishes. I mean, it's not like the big sides hadn't spent shit-tons of money on wages and fees in the last couple of years, but they've had so much time and money to get things right by now, and I expect Liverpool to finish above us this year, finally.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 One of Man City, Arsenal, Man Utd or Chelsea will have a disappointing season and there will be every opportunity for Spurs to beat them to a 4th spot imo, happens nearly every year at the moment that at least one of those 4 have a shitter. I just hope Spurs take the CL seriously this season. I really doubt Liverpool this season like, I think they could be the worse out of the top sides this season.

Yeah it's getting harder and harder. Arsenal will miss out again too I think. I'm going for Chelsea, man United, man city and Liverpool Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
